Visual Arts, Columbia University, New York

This course examines ways of looking and ways of seeing, both personally & professionally as artists and in a larger cultural context. Through field trips to contemporary art and other cultural sites, conversations with visiting critical thinkers and practicioners, readings, discussions, and visual & written responses, we will examine how we look, think, act, create and respond--critically questioning our own artistic practices and ways of looking at the world.

Prompt 1 (BD)
























The image I have chose is Andy Warhol's Jackie Kennedy, 1964. I am very heavily influenced by pop art especially Warhol. When I first became interested in Warhol, I bought a 48" x 48" print of this particular piece and it has hung in every place I have lived since until I moved to New York City last semester. I love this piece because it is very iconic, but not quite as well known as Warhol's portraits of Marilyn Monroe. It also invokes a feeling of home for me because I am used to seeing it in the context of my own living room.
